Background: Human mobility is important for infectious disease spread. However, little is
known about how travel varies by demographic groups and how this heterogeneity …

Human mobility plays a major role in the spatial dissemination of infectious diseases. We
develop a spatio-temporal stochastic model for influenza-like disease spread based on …

Human travel can shape infectious disease dynamics by introducing pathogens into
susceptible populations or by changing the frequency of contacts between infected and …

Human travel impacts the spread of infectious diseases across spatial and temporal scales,
with broad implications for the biological and social sciences. Individual data on travel …

Disease spreads as a result of people moving and coming in contact with each other. Thus
the mobility patterns of individuals are crucial in understanding disease dynamics. Here we …

Human mobility drives the geographical diffusion of infectious diseases at different scales,
but few studies focus on mobility itself. Using publicly available data from Spain, we define a …

Among the realistic ingredients to be considered in the computational modeling of infectious
diseases, human mobility represents a crucial challenge both on the theoretical side and in …

Abstract Properties of city-level commuting networks are expected to influence epidemic
potential of cities and modify the speed and spatial trajectory of epidemics when they occur …

After the emergence of the H1N1 influenza in 2009, some countries responded with travel-
related controls during the early stage of the outbreak in an attempt to contain or slow down …

Current modeling of infectious diseases allows for the study of realistic scenarios that
include population heterogeneity, social structures and mobility processes down to the …
